A look at Newaygo County-wide races

WHITE CLOUD -- Four candidates are vying to represent District 1 on the Newaygo County Board of Commissioners.

Incumbent Julia Bird, a Republican, did not file to run for a second term. Instead, voters in the Aug. 5 primary election will choose between Republicans Dave Stout, Julius Trapp and Gerald Derks, Jr. That winner will face Democrat Barbara Geno in November.

And three candidates are challenging incumbent Cynthia Sullivan for drain commissioner.
